[IBC] Cedar Question: Can cedar trees grow roots from cuttings?
Several trees are called "Cedar" and not all of them are. Can
you give us a better idea of which tree you are talking about? Unfortunately I can't. The leaves look like those of a Juniper and the trunk has a strong cedar smell. The wood is red in the center, and the bark is kind of flaky in sheets. Hope this helps... Sounds like a "red cedar" -- which is a juniper, though Colorado is a funny place to find those, I think (though it seems to get well into Kansas). They're so common around here that I've never tried to do a Juniperus virginiana cutting, but other juniper do pretty well from cuttings. Give it a try. Use rooting hormone (Rootone is fine) and keep it _damp_ NOT wet. I wouldn't try anything thicker than a matchstick or a pencil -- at least at first.

From the description it could also be a Japanese Cedar - Cryptomeria
japonica. This one is exceptionally easy from cuttings. I stick offcuts in the ground when I trim plants and they often strike. True cedars (Cedrus) are more difficult. Try doing a Google image search for Cedrus, Cryptomeria and Juniperus to compare the foliage. Cheers Kev Bailey Vale Of Clwyd, North Wales Several trees are called "Cedar" and not all of them are.
